Mirror of Alzheimer

Mirror of Alzheimer


              I boarded the scheduled train
                   I got down in the desired station.
            The rush led me down the road.

             Now I was confused.
                    Wherere should I go?
                 I couldn't recollect the address of my destination.
           I walked and walked and walked
                Street networks looked ike a maze.

       I started to analyse.
              Where would I like to go?
                 Was it my working place?
       But how could it be!
             I left job long years back.
 
          Was I going to visit my parents?
            I knew the right direction.
       I walked and walked and walked
             Street networks looked like a maze.

        Was I out to see my favorite cousin?
            I knew the directions so well.
      I walked and walked and walked
          Street networks seemed to be a maze.

     I left the idea of going any where
     Better to be back to my own home
      I walked and walked and walked,.
      Street networks turned a maze.

         I could not recollect my own address.
           I was totally lost.
